In this verse, God demonstrates His unwavering faithfulness to His promises by ensuring that David's lineage continues to have a presence in Israel. Despite Solomon's turning away from God due to his idolatry, God remains committed to the covenant He made with David. This decision to preserve one tribe for David's descendants underscores the importance of Jerusalem and God's special relationship with the city and its people. It serves as a powerful reminder that God's promises are enduring and not contingent on human faithfulness. His plans and purposes are steadfast, rooted in His love and commitment to His people. This assurance of God's faithfulness offers hope and stability, showing that even in times of failure or unfaithfulness, God's covenant love remains.
But for the sake of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe.
1 Kings 11:32
